Description

The present invention relates to a party horn, and more particularly to a party horn that can be used for purposes such as health promotion, treatment, and cosmetology.

Party horns have long been known as party horn toys. In this blowback, a linear spring material is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the tubular stretchable body (bag-shaped portion), and when air is blown from one end of the stretchable body, the stretchable body stretches and does not blow air. In the state, the stretchable body is spirally wound by the elastic force of the spring material.

Conventionally, such a party horn has been mainly used as a toy for children, but a party horn that can be used for purposes such as health promotion, treatment, and beauty is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). .. In this blow-back, a mouthpiece made of an antibacterial flexible material is detachably provided in the blow-in portion, so that a good hygiene state can be maintained even after repeated use for a long period of time.

Utility Model Registration No. 3137944 Gazette

By the way, a metal wire having a circular cross section (round) has been used for the conventional spring material. For this reason, in the conventional blow-back, the durability is low and deterioration occurs due to repeated use, and there is a case that it cannot be used properly. That is, the elasticity of the spring material may be deteriorated due to the repeated expansion and contraction of the elastic body and the spring material, and the elastic body may not be properly rewound in a spiral shape.

As a result, it becomes impossible to stretch the stretchable body with an appropriate predetermined expiratory force (exhalation force) and exhalation volume (exhalation volume), and the exercise effect (health promotion effect, beauty improvement effect, etc.) by using the party horn is obtained. There was a risk that it could not be obtained properly. In particular, under the recent epidemic of the new corona, the party horn is often used indoors, and therefore the party horn that can be exercised indoors is used more frequently, so that the party horn can be used properly for a longer period of time. Is desired.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a party horn that can be used properly for a longer period of time.

In order to solve the above problems, the invention of claim 1 has a tubular and deformable stretchable body, a linear body having elasticity and arranged along the longitudinal direction of the stretchable body, and a tubular shape. The mouth blower is provided with a dedicated pipe body connected to one end of the stretchable body and a mouth blower connected to the end of the stretchable body on the anti-stretchable side in a tubular shape and in which the user holds and blows air. When air is blown from, the stretchable body is stretched, and in a state where air is not blown in, the stretchable body is spirally wound back by the elastic force of the linear body, and the cross section of the linear body has a horizontally long shape. The linear body is arranged so that the lateral surface follows the stretchable body.

The invention of claim 2 is characterized in that, in the blowback according to claim 1, the cross section of the linear body has a shape obtained by crushing a circle from above and below.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the cross section of the linear body has a horizontally long shape and the linear body is arranged so that the lateral surface follows the stretchable body, it can be used properly for a longer period of time. .. That is, since the linear body having a horizontally long cross section and the lateral surface are arranged along the stretchable body along the longitudinal direction of the stretchable body, durability and stability are improved and the surface is continuous like a spring. It stably extends and rewinds. Therefore, even if the stretchable body and the linear body are repeatedly stretched and contracted, the deterioration of the linear body is reduced, and it becomes possible to use the stretchable body stably and properly for a longer period of time.

For example, according to the experiment of the inventor of the present application, when it is used (expanded / contracted) multiple times a day, it deteriorates in a few days with the conventional party horn having a circular cross section. It was confirmed that the party horn does not deteriorate even after being used for one week (it stably extends to an appropriate shape and rewinds). Since the durability and stability are improved in this way, the stretchable body can be repeatedly stretched and contracted with an appropriate predetermined expiratory force and expiratory volume, and the exercise effect (health promotion effect and beauty) by using the party horn can be achieved. (Improvement effect, etc.) can be maintained properly for a long time.

Moreover, since the cross section of the linear body may have a horizontally long shape, it is possible to extend the life of the blowback easily and at low cost. Further, since the cross section of the linear body has a horizontally long shape, even if the user comes into contact with the tip of the linear body, it is possible to reduce the injury to the user and improve the safety.

According to the invention of claim 2, since the cross section of the linear body is a simple shape in which the circular shape is crushed from above and below, the linear body and the party horn can be manufactured easily and at low cost. Is possible. For example, a linear body can be manufactured by simply crushing a wire having a circular cross section from above and below.

It is a top view which shows the blowback which concerns on embodiment of this invention. It is a front view of the party horn of FIG. FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a state in which the stretchable body of the party horn of FIG. 1 is stretched. It is a figure which shows the arrangement state of the linear body of the party horn of FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view (a) showing the original wire rod of the party-horned linear body of FIG. 1, and 2) is a cross-sectional view (b) of the linear body. FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a state in which the stretchable body of the party horn and the dedicated tube body of FIG. 1 are separated. It is sectional drawing which shows the mouth blower body of the party horn of FIG.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on the illustrated embodiment.

1 and 2 are a plan view and a front view showing a state in which the stretchable body 2 of the party horn 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is contracted. The party horn 1 is a party horn that can be used for purposes such as health promotion, treatment, and beauty, and mainly includes a stretchable body 2, a linear body 3, a dedicated tube body 4, and a mouth blower body 5. To prepare for.

The stretchable body 2 is a tubular and deformable bag-shaped portion, and is made of a paper material or the like having a predetermined thickness, strength, density (weight per unit area), durability, and the like. Has been done. As shown in FIG. 3, the stretchable body 2 has a substantially circular cross section in a state of being inflated by being blown with air, and its inner diameter is set to be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the dedicated pipe body 4. As will be described later, such a stretchable body 2 is formed into a cylindrical shape by bending a substantially rectangular sheet-shaped first material 21.

In addition, the length of the stretchable body 2 (the length excluding the part where the dedicated tube 4 is inserted) is the purpose of use of the blowback 1 for health promotion, treatment, beauty, etc., and the oral function state and physical condition of the user. It is set according to the user situation. That is, the length of the stretchable body 2 is set so that the amount of air and the amount of exhaled air required to stretch the stretchable body 2 over the entire length becomes an appropriate amount of air preset according to the purpose of use, the user's situation, and the like. ing.

The linear body 3 is a wire material / spring material that has elasticity and is arranged straight along the longitudinal direction of the elastic body 2. That is, it is composed of a stainless steel wire, and in a state where no external force is applied (a state in which air is not blown into the elastic body 2), it is wound in a spiral shape or a coil shape, and when it is stretched straight to release the external force, it returns to a spiral shape. The elastic force to be tried acts, and the elastic force / elastic modulus is set to a predetermined value. That is, the force for blowing air from the mouth blower 5 (expiratory force) so that the expiratory force required to extend the stretchable body 2 becomes an appropriate value set according to the purpose of use, the user's situation, and the like. The elastic force is set to a predetermined value so that the stretchable body 2 does not stretch unless the expiratory pressure) is equal to or higher than an appropriate value (predetermined value).

Here, for example, even when the purpose is to promote health, different appropriate values such as level 0, level 1, and level 2 are set in ascending order according to the oral function state, physical condition, age, and the like of the user. In some cases. That is, the appropriate value of the blowing force (expiratory pressure) is set in detail according to the purpose of use and the situation of the user.

Further, when one linear body 3 cannot accurately obtain a predetermined value of elastic force, or when a plurality of linear bodies 3 can more accurately and easily obtain a predetermined value of elastic force, a plurality of lines are used. The shape 3 is arranged. That is, by disposing the plurality of linear bodies 3, the stretchable body 2 does not stretch unless the force for blowing air from the mouth blower 5 is an appropriate value (predetermined value) or more. For example, for level 1, one linear body 3 having an elastic force having a predetermined value is arranged, and for level 2, two linear bodies 3 having an elastic force having the same predetermined value are arranged. ing.

As shown in FIG. 4, the cross-sectional shape of the linear body 3 (the shape in the cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction) is a horizontally long shape (horizontally long flat shape, substantially rectangular shape). Specifically, it has a cross-sectional shape in which a circle is crushed from above and below. That is, the wire / wire rod 30 having a substantially circular cross section as shown in FIG. 5 (a) is crushed from above and below, and has a horizontally long shape as shown in FIG. 5 (b). It extends horizontally in parallel, and the left and right vertical surfaces 32 have an arc shape. Due to such a cross-sectional shape, the linear body 3 is formed in an elongated strip shape (spring shape) as a whole. Further, with this cross-sectional shape, the above-mentioned elastic force / elastic modulus can be obtained.

The linear body 3 is housed and arranged in the stretchable body 2 so that the lateral surface 31 is along the stretchable body 2 on the inner ring side where the stretchable body 2 is wound in a spiral shape. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the stretchable body 2 is composed of a substantially rectangular first material 21 and a strip-shaped second material 22, and one end portion 21a of the first material 21 is located on the upper side. The one end 21a and the other end 21b are overlapped with each other to form a cylinder. Then, the second material 22 overlaps with the linear body 3 arranged along the lateral surface 31 on the surface side (outer surface side) of the overlapping portion 21c where the one end portion 21a and the other end portion 21b overlap. The linear body 3 is integrally arranged on the stretchable body 2 by being adhered to and connected to the first material 21 so as to cover the entire surface of the portion 21c.

In this way, the linear body 3 is arranged on the overlapping portion 21c of the one end portion 21a and the other end portion 21b of the first material 21, and further, the second material 22 is arranged from above the linear body 3. Therefore, the linear body 3 is firmly sandwiched and held by the two materials 21 and 22. As a result, the linear body 3 is firmly integrated with the stretchable body 2. Here, FIG. 4 shows a case where one linear body 3 is arranged, but the number of arrangements of the linear bodies 3 is set as described above.

The dedicated pipe body 4 is a cylinder-shaped dedicated pipe portion connected to one end of the telescopic body 2. That is, it is a cylindrical body made of a paper material or the like having a predetermined material, and one end thereof is inserted into one end of the stretchable body 2 as shown in FIG. 6, and the vinyl tape 6 is inserted into the one end of the stretchable body 2 as shown in FIG. It is connected by such as. The inner diameter and length of the dedicated pipe body 4 are set so that the user can easily hold it and air can be easily blown from the mouth blower body 5 to the expansion / contraction body 2.

The mouth blower 5 is a tubular mouth blower that is connected to the end (the other end) of the dedicated tube 4 on the anti-expandable body 2 side, and the user holds the mouth and blows air. That is, it is made of resin and includes a first body portion 51, a second body portion 52, and a third body portion 53, as shown in FIG. 7, and the first body portion 51 is on one end side. -The free end side is a slightly thin cylinder (conical trapezoidal cylinder). The second body portion 52 is provided on the other end side of the first body portion 51, and the inner diameter and the outer diameter are set to be slightly larger than those of the first body portion 51. The third body portion 53 is provided on the anti-first body portion 51 side of the second body portion 52, and the inner diameter and the outer diameter are set to be slightly larger than those of the second body portion 52.

Then, the other end of the dedicated pipe body 4 is inserted and press-fitted into the third body portion 53, so that the mouth blower body 5 is connected to the dedicated pipe body 4. At this time, the other end edge of the dedicated pipe body 4 comes into contact with the inner step portion 531 of the third body portion 53 (the inner step portion formed by the second body portion 52 and the third body portion 53). Such a mouth blower 5 is subjected to antibacterial treatment so that a good hygienic state can be maintained even after repeated use for a long period of time. Therefore, for example, when the stretchable body 2 deteriorates, the mouth blower body 5 is removed from the dedicated tube body 4, and the mouth blower body 5 is attached to a new dedicated tube body 4 with the stretchable body 2, and the mouth blower body 5 is attached. It is also possible to reuse.

In the blowback 1 having such a configuration, when the user blows air from the mouth blower 5, as shown in FIG. 3, the air flows into the stretchable body 2, the stretchable body 2 stretches, and the air is not blown. Then, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the stretchable body 2 is spirally rewound by the elastic force of the linear body 3. At this time, if the force (expiratory force / expiratory pressure) for blowing air from the mouth blower 5 is not equal to or more than an appropriate value (predetermined value) set according to the purpose of use and the user situation, the stretchable body 2 continues to grow. In addition, the stretchable body 2 does not extend over the entire length unless a preset amount of air is blown according to the purpose of use and the user's situation. Therefore, by repeating the expansion and contraction (blow-back) of the stretchable body 2 using such a blow-back 1, exercise and training with an appropriate expiratory force and expiratory volume according to the purpose of use and the user's situation can be performed. It is a thing.

As described above, according to the party horn 1, the cross section of the linear body 3 has a horizontally long shape, and the linear body 3 is arranged so that the horizontal surface 31 is along the stretchable body 2, so that the linear body 3 is more appropriate for a long time. Can be used for. That is, since the linear body 3 having a horizontally long cross section and the lateral surface 31 are arranged along the stretchable body 2 along the longitudinal direction of the stretchable body 2, durability and stability are improved, and the spring of the royal fern is improved. It continuously and stably extends and rewinds. Therefore, even if the stretchable body 2 and the linear body 3 are repeatedly stretched and contracted, the deterioration of the linear body 3 is reduced, and the linear body 3 can be used stably and properly for a longer period of time.

For example, according to the experiment of the inventor of the present application, when it is used (expanded / contracted) multiple times a day, it deteriorates in a few days with the conventional party horn having a circular cross section. It was confirmed that the main blowback 1 did not deteriorate even after being used for one week (stablely extended to an appropriate shape and rewound). Since the durability and stability are improved in this way, the stretchable body 2 can be repeatedly expanded and contracted with an appropriate predetermined expiratory force and expiratory volume, and the exercise effect (health promotion effect) by using the party horn 1 can be achieved. And beauty improvement effect) can be maintained properly for a long time.

Moreover, since the cross section of the linear body 3 may have a horizontally long shape, the life of the party horn 1 can be extended easily and at low cost. Further, since the cross section of the linear body 3 has a horizontally long shape, even if the user comes into contact with the tip of the linear body 3, it is possible to reduce the injury to the user and improve the safety. do.

Further, since the cross section of the linear body 3 is a simple shape obtained by crushing a circle from above and below, it is possible to manufacture the linear body 3 and the party horn 1 easily and at low cost. .. For example, the linear body 3 can be manufactured only by crushing the wire rod 30 having a circular cross section from above and below.

Further, it is possible to manufacture a plurality of linear bodies 3 having different elastic forces and elastic coefficients, that is, a plurality of party horns 1 having different required expiratory forces by using one type of wire / wire rod 30 having a circular cross section. It becomes. That is, without using a plurality of wire rods 30 having different outer diameters, simply crushing the wire rod 30 from above and below produces a linear body 3 and a party horn 1 that are different from the elastic force and required expiratory force of the wire rod 30 as it is. This increases the flexibility of production. Moreover, by simply changing the amount of crushing the wire 30 from above and below (height between the lateral surfaces 31 of the linear body 3), it is possible to manufacture a plurality of linear bodies 3 and blowback 1 having different elastic forces and required expiratory forces. This improves convenience and flexibility.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the specific configuration is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and even if there is a design change or the like within a range that does not deviate from the gist of the present invention. Included in the invention. For example, in the above embodiment, one telescopic body 2 is provided for one dedicated pipe body 4, but one dedicated pipe body 4 is provided according to the purpose of use of the party horn 1 and the user situation. A plurality of stretchable bodies 2 may be provided.

Further, although the case where the dedicated tube body 4 and the mouth blower body 5 are separate bodies has been described, the dedicated tube body 4 may be provided with the mouth blower body 5 integrally. Further, a scale may be provided on the stretchable body 2 so that it can be easily visually confirmed how much the stretchable body 2 can be stretched.
